is too big to downgrade. we have heard the adage "too big to fail." but maybe the u.s. is too big to downgrade. as a reality, it will never default on its treasury obligations. all those discussions are being had a back-and-forth with snb. -- s&p. they have to consider along with moody's and fitch that there is talk of default, and to simply ignore that and not have a plan and thinking behind how they would react to that would be a mistake. that is what we want to happen from the last crisis. we want them to be open, honest, transparent and much more timely in terms of how they are analyzing these credits. i think that is happening. host: if the u.s. were at what point aa, could they reget the aaa rating? guest: there is talk about that, how difficult it is to reverse that position. quite honestly, it is in the hands of the congress to come up with something other than token, and pushing past the 2012 elections, any serious consideration of on the more meaningful package to get revenue and expenditures under control. it me be a process of showing progress, not just toke
